Grade 8; #32: Write, simplify, and evaluate algebraic expressions to generalize situations and solve problems

  1. Set up notebooks
  2. Warmup A: If I showed you the expression 30n, could you tell me which part of the expression is the variable and which part of the expression is the coefficient?
  3. Warmup B: If I showed you the expression x + 6, could you tell me which part of the expression is the variable and which part of the expression is the constant?
  4. Discuss Grades (Class Average went up from a 66% (D) to a 70% (C-); Damion, De'Andre, and Ke'Shae have A's; Shawn jumped up from a B to a B+; Aaron, Makyah, and Rashawnda jumped up to a B-; Open House is Thursday; Your grades by Thursday will consist of a 6-point Notebook Check, a 7-point Homework Check, and an 8-point Quiz on Wednesday...Thursday you will have a 5-point Notebook Check and on Friday you will have a 4-point Homework Check)
  5. Example) x + 5 for x = 11
  6. Example) 2a + 3 for a = 4
